Pumping an aquifer to the last drop squeezes out more than water. A Stanford study finds it can also unlock dangerous arsenic from buried clays – and reveals how sinking land can provide an early warning and measure of contamination.

A new, dynamic system discovered by researchers at the University of Notre Dame and Argonne National Laboratory will enable ongoing adjustments to tiny tornadoes of supercurrent – called vortex filaments – to alter a material’s superconducting properties over time.

Bolometers, devices that monitor electromagnetic radiation through heating of an absorbing material, are used by astronomers and homeowners alike. But most such devices have limited bandwidth and must be operated at ultralow temperatures. Now, researchers say they’ve found a ultrafast yet highly sensitive alternative that can work at room temperature — and may be much less expensive.

Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center researchers Christos Maravelias and Peyman Fasahati aimed to identify critical drivers, outside of carbon efficiency, for assessing new biofuels strategies and found that there are two other vital parameters: the energy required to produce the fuels in a biorefinery and the fuels’ efficiency in a vehicle’s engine.
